More than 120,000 Japanese Americans were interned behind barbed wire
during World War II . . . over half were children.  The documentary
_Children of the Camps_ captures the experiences of six Americans of
Japanese ancestry who were confined as children to internment camps
by the U.S. government during World War II.  The film vividly
portrays their personal journey to heal the deep wounds they suffered
from this experience.

"I remember the soldiers marching us to the Army tank and I looked at
their rifles and I was just terrified because I could see this long
knife at the end?" (_Children of the Camps_).

Dr. Judy Tzu-Chun Wu (OSU Dept. of History) will introduce the
documentary, and a panel discussion with internment survivors will
follow the screening.

Sponsors: the Student International Forum and Social Welfare Action Alliance.
Co-sponsor: Asian American Student Services.
